SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WV - Messages about Sales Price Calculation

• Message number: 454

• Message text: Item has pricing reference material; no posting to condition type &4

What causes this issue?

In master data for material &V1&, pricing reference material &V3& is
defined for distribution chain &V2&. The sales price of material &V1&
is therefore copied directly from pricing reference material &V3&. This
material, therefore, does not need its own condition record.
Similarly, you cannot update conditions for pricing table fields which
are blocked for entries because of the pricing reference material.

System Response

Data for the current pricing item is not posted to condition type &V4&.

How to fix this error?

If you wish to create a condition record for the current pricing item
using condition type &V4&, remove the pricing reference material from
the master data of material &V1&.
